Greenland is a beautiful nightmare

"The fact is, that among his hunters at least, the whale would by all hands be considered a noble dish, were there not so much of him; but when you come to sit down before a meat-pie nearly one hundred feet long, it takes away your appetite."

Moby-Dick

Herman Melville

I've had whale when I went to Norway.

Was it good? It was OK. Would I have it again? Probably not.

Still a nice experience. Also trying cured reindeer, moose and seal slices was pretty unique.

I recall having whale on a regular basis when I was college in Japan in 1968-69. I liked it, though its grey appearance wasn't appealing. I was always struck by how much it resembled meat in both texture and taste.

It literally is meat. It's a mammal!

To clarify: animal meat. I had a feeling this clarification would pop up...
